Song: In the Arms of Sleep Artist: The Smashing Pumpkins Album: Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness Released: 1995 ### Disclaimer: I haven't seen a tab out there yet which gives the correct tuning, and therefore the correct chord voicings, for this song according to the actual album music. HOWEVER, this is probably because it's really weird and annoying to play it "by the book", and you can get a very similar sounding cover with some simple modifications. I will give both the album version, and a simplified version I picked up years ago. (I know I just made a big stink about proper nomenclature, but I won't be giving the technically correct chord names for my Simplified Version... please don't judge me!) ALBUM VERSION: SIMPLIFIED VERSION: Tuning: Eb Ab Db G* Bb Eb Tuning: E A D G B E Chords: Chords: G#m: 46600x G#m: 466400 F#sus: 24400x F#: 244200 E: 022000 E: 022100 Amaj9: 577000 Asus: 577600 B: 7997xx Bsus: 799800 F#7sus2: 244000 *the G string tuning is 'natural' in the album version, and thus one 1/2 step (semi-tone) higher than all other strings Time signature = 6/8, played slowly @ 64 Intro. slow upward strum of the G#m chord, starting on the b string, as a pick up to the first bar G#m (2 bars) F#sus (2 bars) Repeat VERSE 1 G#m F#sus G#m Sleep will not come to this tired body now F#sus E Peace will not come to this lonely he----art Amaj9 G#m There are some things I live without E But I want you to know Amaj9 G#m F#sus That I need you right now I need you tonight E (2 bars) G#m (2 bars) F#sus (2 bars) Repeat VERSE 2 G#m F#sus G#m I steal a kiss from her sleeping shadow moves [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/s/smashing-pumpkins/348441.html ] F#sus E Cause I'll always miss her where ever she goes Amaj9 G#m E And I'll always need her more than she could ever need me Amaj9 G#m I need someone to ease my mind Amaj9 B But sometimes a someone is so-oo hard to fi--ind CHORUS Amaj9 B And I'll do anything to keep her here tonight Amaj9 B And I'll say anything to make her feel alright Amaj9 E Amaj9 G#m And I'll be anything to keep her here tonight E Amaj9 G#m Cause I want you to stay with me F#7sus2 (2 bars) E (2 bars) I need you tonight VERSE 3 G#m F#sus G#m She comes to me like an angel out of time F#sus E As I play the part of a saint on my knees Amaj9 G#m E There are some things I live without but I want you to know Amaj9 G#m That I need you right now--oow--oow OUTRO Amaj9 G#m Amaj9 G#m Amaj9 G#m E Suffer my desire, suffer my desire, suffer my desire for you Amaj9 G#m Amaj9 G#m Amaj9 G#m E Suffer my desire, suffer my desire, suffer my desire for you Amaj9 G#m E For you-oo E Amaj9 G#m Foooor you END Thanks very much!
